For Sale: 1986 Dodge Charger in Concord, North Carolina

As it turns out, not every fastback with the Shelby name is a six-figure car. This sleek turbocharged and fuel-injected 1986 Dodge Charger Shelby is a budget-priced, fun classic coupe that can enjoyed and draws attention.

The Omni-based Chargers were of a different breed than the muscle car legends we associate with this name. But they may just fit into the Shelby lifestyle better than some of its Hemi brothers. Carroll Shelby loved powerful motors in lightweight packages, and this is the right place to start. Plus, the long hood and hatchback profile were just begging for some speedy style. It has an exclusive nose treatment that added more emphasis to both the steeper slope of the inner hood and the offset power bulge for the turbo, as well as a full ground effects body kit and a well-integrated spoiler. The blue and silver take full advantage of the two-tone to really show off these special pieces as much as possible. Only 7,699 Charger Shelbys were produced in 1986, and a mere 793 were painted in this attractive and desirable blue color.

Just like the exterior, there is an impressive two-tone blue and silver presentation on the seats, panels, and carpeting. Even the hatchback's trunk is done to match and looking fantastic. There are nice comfort features like an armrest console, rear defroster, and Chrysler's premium AM/FM/cassette stereo, but what you'll really like is the true driver experience. There are comfortable Shelby Charger logo high-back bucket seats with good bolstering, a grippy steering wheel that also gives you a good view to the full gauges, and the stick shift feels substantial in your hands.

When you open the hood, your eyes gravitate to the bright head cover in the middle that says everything you want to know: TURBO. The 2.2-liter fuel-injected motor was turbocharged to nearly 150 horsepower, which was quite good during the low-power era of the '80s. And more importantly, the lightweight package gives this coupe 0 to 60 times that rival some established Europeans of the day. With a five-speed manual transmission, front disc brakes, a semi-independent rear suspension, and sporty tires, this is some nimble fun for very little cash.
